Morning Dew, Dire Wolf, Cold Rain & Snow, Hard To Handle, Mama Tried, High Time, Next Time You See Me, Casey Jones, He Was A Friend Of Mine, Good Lovin'-> Drums-> Good Lovin', Easy Wind, China Cat Sunflower-> I Know You Rider, Alligator-> Drums-> Turn On Your Love Light
Notes
The sound is not as full or crisp as many others from '69 with a similiar lineage, but the mix is stable and there are very few blemishes. Sound Forge was used for normalization and minor edits.

DSO recreation this past week
I was at DSO recreation show as well this past Wednesday at Stony Creek Brewery in CT.. when they opened with Morning Dew which is a rarity, all the older guys like me especially knew we were in for a great show and that it was likely 1970 or earlier... but when they broke into Mountain Jam during one of the last jams second set, my friends and I were overjoyed... he the Allman Brothers played this song for the first time only 6 months earlier in May 69'.. so cool and unusual to hear at a Dead show !

DSO recreated this show last nite
Saw Dark Star Orchestra in Branford CT last nite (8/2/23) & they "recreated" this show very very well. Mattson went off on the Alligator / drums jam, new respect for him. Gonna give this original "real" show a listen, it's one I haven't heard before (69 is like my fav year). DSO did all the jams in the 'Gator - Mountain Jam, Bid U Goodnite Jam, Uncle John's Jam. Barracco is getting better at the Pigpen Schtick, good for him! Nice to see them recreate this "vintage" era rather than '80's - ugh!

Good show
5 star performance, muddy sound (compared to other shows of the era) quality drops the overall to 4 stars. UJB Jam is rockin'. There's a cut in lovelight.

jams
You will love this Alligator jam with Jerry soloing over percussion. The UJB jam is cool. 5 stars for these although the next night has a little more to offer overall.

Hiss
I give this show 5 stars just for the hiss. These shows are recorded on tape and should include tape hiss. The lower the hiss the lower my rating.
Okay so everybody at this concert probably drank enough "electric kool-aid" to see GOD in HD. Audio quality aside...(for 69, it's not that bad stop comparing everything to CD's). What we have here is a PIGPEN fest... Hard To Handle, Good Lovin', Easy Wind, Alligator, Turn On Your Lovelight. Probably the only sane person at this show was Pigpen...all the rest probably bought a first class ticket to never ever land...with free refreshments...in garbage cans filled with "electric kool-aid". If you have not downloaded this show by now, seek immediate medical help, first thing tomorrow... There is enough Pigpen here to give this show 5 stars easily and it sounds like TC is playing keyboards at this show too. 1969, no super sound system. 1969, no super monitor system. 1969, tube amps, ludwig drums,gongs, electricity and talent. Here's the GRATEFUL DEAD I knew...nice to hear it like it used to be. Back when Pigpen would conduct the show...and the DEAD were his back up band. If you don't mind me saying....., can I please have more PIGPEN? More ALLIGATOR...come on man....don't make me beg. I'd download this show.....If I were you, Get it while you can, get it while it's free, get it NOW, or you'll be sorry. Eat, drink, be merry and listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD. TURN ON YOUR LOVELIGHT and LEAVE IT ON!
